The easiest, most comprehensive, way to start an optician training program for yourself or your entire office.

Here’s what’s included…

Chapter 1: Ocular Anatomy and Basic Principles

In this chapter we’ll be putting together basic principles that will be built upon in future chapters. We’ll go over…

Parts of the eye so that you understand what the doctor is talking about

HOW lenses do the things they do to help a person to see

Types of lenses available and WHY a person may need each type

Which refractive error causes which symptoms

ABC’s of reading the parts of a prescription

Chapter 2: Lens Parameters

For this chapter, we’ll be creating rock-solid skills in how to measure each part of a pair of glasses. This chapter’s training will cover…

Lensometry with the use of picture-in-picture training video so that you can see the drum movements and what is seen through the eyepiece simultaneously

Finding the optical center of a lens and why this is important

Measuring base curves and detecting warpage

Understanding the often misunderstood 3 types of prism measurement. (Yes, there are three types) and WHY this is so important to grasp.

Chapter 3: How to pick the perfect frame for the patient

Great frame selection is more than trial and error, it is a purposeful blend of style and function. In chapter 3 we’ll show you how to get both of those…

Understand frame materials pros and cons and how the wrong material can make for a very unhappy patient

How to choose the right frame for the patient’s prescription and how this can keep you from getting those phone calls from the lab telling you that you need to have the patient come back in to pick a new frame.

The 7 face shapes and the best frame shape for each one

Hearing aids, oxygen tubes, and kids oh my! How to get a great fit for special populations (and a very unique frame made just for oxygen users you may not even know exists, but will make YOU that patient’s best friend for life!)

Chapter 4: Getting the PERFECT frame and lens fit

Getting that PERFECT fit starts at the time of ordering, that way your job is easy at time of dispensing. That’s why chapter 4 is going to be so valuable. Here’s what we’ll be going over together…

How to create the perfect lens and frame pairing

Why adjusting the frame at the time of ordering is crucially important to a successful fit (at time of dispense it is too late!)

The 4 ways to measure a near PD, and why choosing the wrong one may be a disaster

The adjustment tools and how to use each one

The 3 often forgotten adjustments and why they are so important (Pantoscopic tilt, faceform, and vertex)

Getting the bifocal, trifocal, and progressive seg height correct

Chapter 5: Lens Options

Providing the patient with lens options that are perfectly matched with their needs. That’s why the patient is in your chair, isn’t it? We’ll show you…

When the best time is to use tints, mirrors, polarization, or photochromatics

How to minimize aberrations on higher index materials

What option must ALWAYS be paired with an aspheric lens

How to create the ultimate in a thin and light weight lens

The TRUTH about high index materials (and why sometimes going with a higher index lens will actually make it heavier)

Chapter 6: Contact lenses

Contact lenses do not have to be complicated. We will break this topic down together into the following areas…

Step by step process for training your patient on application and removal of both soft and RGP lenses.

What is a Greenie and the only time EVER use one on a contact lens

Proper care and handling of soft and RGP lenses.

What are cataracts and when do they get treated?

What can you expect to hear from a patient with macular degeneration

When does a patient complaint ALWAYS require an appointment be made with a doctor?

Why is your glaucoma patient using all those drops?

And more!

Chapter 8: Special Cases – Recognizing potential pitfalls

What is Anisometropia and what three effects from this condition MUST be addressed when ordering glasses?

Why the Prentice Rule is (almost) the only equation you will ever need to know

Impress your prescribing doctor by catching what he may have missed

A shortcut to determine if Slab-off is needed when the axis is oblique (don’t have any clue what was just said? Don’t worry, you will be a PRO at this stuff by the end of this chapter)

Discover when making vision more clear doesn’t always make things better for the patient

Chapter 9: A BONUS: Going from good to great

A great optician is one who creates a customer for life. We will show you how to do just that plus…
